It is prohibited to perform intercourse with a menstruating woman. Such intercourse is harmful to both the woman and the man. Allah SWT says:
وَيَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ الْمَحِيضِ ۖ قُلْ هُوَ أَذًى فَاعْتَزِلُوا النِّسَاءَ فِي الْمَحِيضِ
And they ask you about menstruation. Say, "It is harm, so keep away from wives during menstruation.Al- Baqarah v.222
Performing intercourse with a menstruating woman is also a major sin. Abu Hurayrah RA reported that Allah's Messenger Muhammad SAW said:
"A person who goes to a soothsayer and believes what he tells him, performs intercourse with a menstruating woman, or performs intercourse with a woman in her anus - he has surely disbelieved in what has been revealed to Muhammad."
Recorded by Abu Dawud, ,at-Tirmithi, and others. Verified to be authentic by al-Albani (Adab uz-Zifaf pp.105-106).
If, despite the above warnings, a man falls into the sin of copulating with his menstruating wife; he incurs on himself by that a great sin that cannot be wiped off except with sincere repantance.
Furthermore, he would then be required to pay a charity.
lbn 'Abbas RA reported that Allah's Messenger Muhammad SAW said in regard to a man who performs intercourse with his menstruating wife:
"He should give charity in the amount of one dinar or half a dinar."
Recorded by Abu Dawud, an-Nasa'i, and others. Verified to be authentic by al-Albani (Adab uz-Zifaf pp. 122-123).
Explaining this, lbn 'Abbas RA added:
"One dinar when the blood is red, and half a dinar when it is yellow (near the end of her period)."
Recorded by Abu Dawud and at-Tirmithi. Verified to be authentic by al-Albani (Sahih Abi Dawud no. 258 &Sahih ut-Tirmithi no. 118).
